Well if you haven't heard already, Pluto is NOT a planet anymore... Roll Eyes

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/08/24/pluto.ap/index.html

WHY? ???

Because it has an elliptical orbit and is "too small"...DUH! Tongue Tongue

It will now be considered a DWARF PLANET. Roll Eyes

So it's - Happy, Bashful, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey, Doc... Cheesy

...and Pluto! Grin

I agree. Why couldn't they just grandfather it in and future new planets must meet the spec Tongue

A red dwarf is still a star so a dwarf planet is still a planet Tongue
